Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) as an additional layer of security to protect data that is accessible through Firebolt. With MFA enabled, users must authenticate with a one-time code generated by their mobile device upon login. MFA can be enabled per login.

Enabling MFA for a login requires the org_admin role.
